Use the glossary when one word blocks your path. Open a Deep Dive when you want the whole climb: physical picture, exact definition, derivation, worked examples, failure modes, and the architecture of a machine-checked proof.

The chapters are connected but self-contained. Every symbol is introduced before it does work, every abstraction has a stated role, and advanced readers can use the chapter map to move directly to the ridge they need.

The current textbook corpus is public work in progress. Open working note labels distinguish owner-authorized publication from completed editorial, technical, or external review.
